Your dad supplies our machine shop in Escanaba . I have seen him come into our shop for the last 24 years and he is a great guy. My grandpa came from Cornwall England and worked the mines until he saved enough money to buy property in iron mountain and built a motel and became a business man . He then went onto build a log bar in spread eagle Wisconsin and built cabins that he rented out. Lot of history in the u.p. thanks for video.
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille he actually has been coming to our shop for over 30 years. I have only seen him for 24 since i started here. He is a typical yooper very friendly.
Hah, I'm from Northern Sweden and we have a lot of Finnish influences in our dialects up here. It's amazing how clear the Finnish influence is on your dad's dialect. He really just sounds like a Finn who's gotten really good at American English.
A number of years ago I (a Michigander) took my wife (a native Missourian) to the U.P. for the first time. Since she suffers from asthma, she finds it difficult to breathe, but after crossing the Strait, she exclaimed that she could breathe and everything smelled like Pine. we visited many of the sights, and she really enjoyed it!
Thank you for reminding me! After reading your comment, it brought back a flood of memories of crossing over the bridge and how the air becomes so much cleaner and piney smelling! Good memories.
Finnish guy from Finland here, your dad says a lot of things like we Finns say when we talk English. Of course he sounds very American but there is hints of Finglish there. Very easy to understand. That pasty looks like Finnish kalakukko, it has a rye crust and inside is filled with fish and greasy pork. Very good eating. Pasty like you say it sounds very Finnish too :)
Pasties in the UP, weridly, come from Cornwall, UK. But no one really owns vegetables, meat and bread. A lot of people think it is a Finnish food, because most of us (myself included) have Finnish ancestry. Nope, actually from Cornwall, because miners migrated here and brought their food with them. My little town has three pasty shops and there is fierce competition between them.
Hi, super late to the parade. Lots of Finns immigrated to the U.P! My grandpa included. It is so cool to see all the comments making these connections :)
Living in southern Michigan, there’s definitely a cultural and geographical difference between southern and northern Michigan. I love the UP. Such a beautiful place!
I’m proud to be born and raised in da U.P., eh! ❤ Funny story: My dad called the cable company and he couldn’t understand the lady on the other end. He requested to speak with someone else stating, “I can’t understand you.” She replied, “Good, I can’t understand you either.” 🤣🤣
I’m from the Mitten (born & raised in Grand Rapids, live in Metro Detroit), & can definitely say visiting the UP was a culture shock. I was blown away by how friendly people are up there. Tahquamenon Falls & Whitefish Bay were beautiful. I fail to understand why St. Ignace doesn’t get nearly as much love & attention as Mackinaw City. I honestly feel like St. Ignace is the better of the two cities on the Straits. I’ve only been to the UP twice, but I’d love to further explore it.
I love hearing this accent. You hear it mostly in the western part of the UP. my grandfather was born in Cornwall where the pasty comes from. My grandfather was a Suomi synod Lutheran pastor who went to Finlandia University (Suomi College). My dad’s first language was Finnish.
My dad was born and raised in Calumet. We spent 2 weeks a year at our ‘camp’ always last week of July and first week of August. My family started Baroni spaghetti and sauce. Best place ever
Same here. GM house was on Hecla and later Dad's house on Kearsarge across the street from Toni's Pasties. Toni and Art Copo were school friends of my Dad's. He went to Sacred Heart School and graduated from Michigan Tech in 1941.
I worked with Goodyear and we tested winter tires in the UP. My first trip there was in the winter of ‘72 and there wasn’t hardly anything open in the winter then. The popularity of the snowmobile changed things a lot. We moved around the UP frequently looking for the best test area for us and finally ended up In Ironwood in ‘82; my last winter test was in 2000 when I retired. We usually tested from first week of January until about the end of March. We were considered part time Yoopers. I really enjoyed my time in the UP, good folks that are very hardy, and very friendly once they get to know you. Goodyear no longer has a winter test site there. I enjoyed your video!
Ironwood. Gahh. I'm a troll from Northern Michigan. I went to tech school in Minnesota and drove through Ironwood and the entire UP often on my trips home. The snow would really start being a thing around Ironwood and would last until I turned south around Newberry. We get around 100 inchs of snow on the west side of Lk Michigan and people think it's a lot. It's not. M28 and the north part of US2 is a beast of a road in the UP winter. Great place to test snow tires.
Hay / hey ,My mother was raised in SR , ie Karps ford in Houghton ? Dad from Atlantic Mine, family name was changed when citizenship was completed, really hard to find relatives. Back in the UP to retire, !
My folks are from the UP -- listening to this was like being transported back to a family reunion. Not many Yoopers (or other Finns) down here in Arizona.
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille I should say very similar lol My dad and grandpa were both born in Iron River, MI. I think the northern WI/ UP accent are very 'Canadian' sounding and thats what I've heard from others when traveling out of state. We also say 'yous guys' and sprinkle 'hey' liberally in conversation
I am in Northern Michigan and love it ! I do love the Yooper accent . It is a beautiful part of the country and this was a lovely interview with your Father .
I'm from southern Wisconsin and many of the people I worked with back in the 1970's ended many of their comments with the phrase "da-ya-hey". It's like adding a self affirmation to their comment. Then again I use the phrase "you betcha" in about every third sentence.
I grew up on K.I. Sawyer AFB, south of Marquette, in the ‘70s and early’’80s. We loved the winter as kids. I remember plenty of Finn’s. All our bus drivers wore those hats, and my gym teacher’s name was Mr Hanuskala.

Great video! Your dad is awesome. My favorite bit was learning about the history of the UP and the Finnish immigrants. So interesting!
Bless the U.P. Born in Marquette, raised in Bessemer, living in Scotland past 22 years. Miss the Yoop. Wholesome, lovely people. Mention of pasties made me hungry. 😂
Ya sure, hey buddy, yup, I am born and raised in da UP over Bessemer way. Grandfolks migrated from Finland and Sweden. Loved the interview and I agree with everything your Dad said. Taking the tractor out and making wood is about as good as life gets. Take Care!
I just discovered your video, watched and immediately subscribed. Born, raised and still in Duluth,MN. Laughed at the “bag/tag/wag etc pronunciation! Visited Texas and the store cashier had no idea I was asking for a bag. Changed the word to “a sack” and got my bag. Also, when my child was very young, we couldn’t use “Reading with Phonics” I believe it was called. My daughter said to me, “mom what does wag mean? As in dog’s tail wagged. Well, out went that reading program! Thanks for an enjoyable video!
My grandparents were first gen Finnish, their parents came from Finland. My grandmother's first language was Finnish. She eventually moved to the northern lower peninsula, where I grew up. Her accent slowly transitioned but she would still say a lot of the slang or stereotypical things.
My friend married a Finnish girl from the U.P. last nameTollefson. You remind me of her. Went to their wedding in Iron Mountain and had a great time. Enjoyed the video!
This used to be my accent til I moved from Ironwood Michigan to Texas in my youth, and then we moved to Washington State and I've been here for decades now. My Yooper accent is mostly gone, though it may creep out now and again.
I am originally from Michigan & it is an absolutely beautiful state! I go back & visit with my children every summer & they love it & they have the best time! I do not miss the Michigan winters though!! Haha! But the Upper Peninsula is truly a magical place & I tell everyone I meet that asks me where I am from that the UP is a MUST place to visit at least once in your lifetime! It is definitely worth the trip! ✌️💛
I’m originally from the UP. Spent the first 26 years of life in “God’s Country” and have missed it since the first day I left. Everything he states are facts. Every Yooper pretty much grew up this way. Say ya to da UP, eh!
We've been up here for a few years. One of the most interesting pieces of information came from a lovely, 80 year old woman that lived here her whole life said pasties didn't really exist up here until the 60's and 70's. Which goes to show that you're never late for dinner if what you're bringing is absolutely delicious.
Thank you both. I am old enough to remember when a lot more of us sounded like this; I fear that the unique sound is decreasing as time runs and our accents all become homogenized. I haven't heard "put the sauna going" for some years. Love the Keweenaw....
Good video. 👍 I'm a Finnish Yooper as well and I wonder if we say hey so much because "hei" in finnish is a greeting, it's pronounced the same way. 🤔 Thanks for sharing. 🌟
I grew up on the St Lawrence river where it starts just east of Lake Ontario. My Father, Hans was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. I had friends that after meeting Hans would ask me, “What language is he speaking?”. I never thought his accent was excessive??? I have lived in Charleston and now upstate South Carolina for 30 years. It’s an 18 hour drive to my hometown. Nice Video! Thank you!
Oh so cool! I actually interviewed a guy from New Zealand 2 weeks ago for my channel. Then we did a short guess the New Zealand slang for my Instagram which I already posted. Sooo hard! Haha 🙈🙈🙈
I’m 21 and living in the upper peninsula my whole life. I’m right next to Lake superior. It’s so cool how you showed your dad‘s input on everything in this video!
I am from Detroit & Muskegon and I live in North Carolina. I lived there for 30 years and I have been here for about 11 years. I love hearing it. In muskegon we said Fer Shure a lot....fer shure.
Just happened to stumble upon this, my family is from Iron County and my time spent up there has dwindled since moving away. Your dads accent transported me back to my family reunions and time spent visiting my grandparents. The U.P is such an amazing place and I certainly have started to appreciate it more since growing up.
Love this! I live in downstate Michigan near Kalamazoo and travel up through the UP a couple times a year for work. I know several people that sound just like your Dad especially those up near Houghton and Hancock. Listening to this while driving home from my latest trip up there. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve lived in the U.P. Since 1977 . I don’t want to live any where else. It’s a labor of love . It’s a beautiful place rich in tradition. I love it here! Oh ya you betcha der now eh!
Camille & her father were so enjoyable to watch. So interesting, the cultural differences in our great state. Thank you for this wonderful interview, so delightful!
I lived in Ontonagon for 6 years in the 1980’s and, although I would never be mistaken for a native, I liked to think of myself as kind of an honorary Yooper. Having this video show up in my feed was a real treat and brought back many memories of our time there. Everything your Dad describes is exactly how I remember it, and the people were nearly all just as pleasant as your Dad seems to be.
nice episode, i live in sweden and have watched some video about Upper penesuela, because my aunty, uncle and cousins live in Mass c and it is nice to learn more about the area. It's been 47 years since i was there.
Your father is such a Blessing. I see you value him. I am so happy you included him. He is so special. Finnish is a hard language. He makes me want to put this area on my must do list. Yes. UP is special.
Pasty the original fast food. You can eat one in the bag while driving. We say EH! Like a question or exclamation. Remember Karal Pellenpa used to have that Sunday morning show on TV 6 Finland calling, ( Suomi Kutzoo ) for 40 yrs. They would speak in Finn, the Karal would translate. He'd take a bunch to Finland once a year to visit the old country. Sadly all the first generation have past on, & the second generation was discouraged from speaking Finn in school so the language has been lost. I heard a couple of guys speaking it in the iron mine, years ago. I asked my partner later if he & Bruce were really speaking Finn? He said they were. I asked if it was true Finn? He said no, it's more like Finglish. My wife & I ,along with our 2 kids, were traveling by means of 2 motorcycles,through Quebec Provence when we stopped at a point of interest, Grand Falls Grand Slough. I asked the young gal at the information desk if they were really speaking true French? She said no, more like Frenchglish. She said a French tour boat came to town once, late 1980's & the local couldn't speak with the French people. I was raised on the eastern end of the U.P. & a family friend got cancer, about 1971, he was of Finish decent, & he went back to the old country to see realtives for the last time. Upon his return he stopped in one night to visit with my dad. My dad asked him if he could communicate with his relatives? He said he could. His folks came from northern Finland & he learned that dialect growing up before elementary school. But while there his relatives took him to see other relatives in southern Finland & he couldn't understand their version of Finn, so his northern relatives had to translate for him. When I moved to Marquette county in 1974 I noticed that the Finn's there put the accent on the first syllable,where the Chippewa county Finn's put it on the second syllable. Example, Chippewa county Finn family name Pe- so( long O) la Marquette county Fin, Pes- ola Another one was Har- varn- en, in the east but Harv-arnen in the west. What to do in the winter, before snowmobiles? I asked a coworker once about 42 yrs ago. He said every kid he knew had a pair of jumping skis. This was in Ishpeming. He said right after school, they'd all walk over to the ski jump & jump untill the guy would turn the lights off & make them go home.
@@SilentEcho9194 I have been transplanted in Arizona, I hate it! I long for the UP & pasties. People say there is beauty in the desert but I have yet to find it. They don't know true beauty.
@@purplerose2826 I understand that. Before moving here, I lived in southwest Michigan for 20+years. It was the most plain, unremarkable part of Michigan. Landlocked and boring. My daughter and I talked about making pasties just last night 🙂❤
I remember the autumn at UP something like Taiga at Siberia and Very Yellow Endless Maples on the way to the Pictured Rocks. Most beautiful place ever I visited.
Growing up I had a friend whose grandparents and uncle lived in Bergland on the West side. They all had a very strong "Finnish" accent. I work with a guy from the Soo that has a very similar accent but really gruff and not friendly like the accent on the west side. I think it was just him though, his parents speak like city people. We live in Alpena, front line trolls, we go up a couple/few times a year, only about 1.5 hours to the bridge. We have a small RV and we love to backwoods camp, chase brookies and take in nature.
Great video. My Great Grandfather immigrated from Norway in the early 1900s to Green Bay Wisconsin area. It’s nice to hear and learn where people came from eh.
Greenville South Carolina born and raised. Now In Manistique Michigan. So far only 1 winter. It was a doozy. Had 4ft of snow in my yard for almost 6 months. Lol.
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille wow. Small world. I agree the snow can be a little much. I grew tired of people after 20yrs on a ambulance there and the lack of support by employers and elected officials for first responders. So we sold it all and left. It’s cold In the winter. Warm in the summer. Turned the AC on last week lol, for the first time this year. Closest stop light is 30-40 mins away. Walmart is over a hour away. We love it. Good luck down there in Greer.
I love discovering these little fragments of culture. My last boss was from Michigan and she always joked about the accents. I'd love to visit this area sometime--it all seems very welcoming and comfortable. Also, I love the cold!
Beautiful up there My Dad was born in Shingleton. My Grandparents came from Yugoslavia they came thru Ellis Island and settled up in shingleton. love the accent. I am from southern Michigan. People always a ask me where I am from because of my accent
My grandma was from Austria and my grandpa was a German from Russia. They moved to USA and lived in Chicago, Illinois suburbs. One of their daughters, my aunt, used to say "yous guys". Don't know where she got that from because none of the other kids said that.
Lots of people in WI and IL say "youse guys." It's an Upper Midwest thing, not just the UP. Another thing they do a lot (but not as often and really mostly the older generations (40+)) is replace the /th/ sound with a /d/ sound. Like, "dis da one yer talkin about?"
I spent the first 18 years of my life in lovely Michigan ... and it can't be overstated as to just how bad the biting bugs are there. Those mean deer flies are just awful and the mosquitoes aren't far behind.🥺
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille and I won't even mention the horrible brier patches and the sand burs and pricker plants that are all over the place and suffocating summer humidity and biting sand flies on the lake shores.😪🤷
@@michaelmelling9333 yes the biting black flies are terrible around the water. We were planning on walking the beach on Lake Superior but, we were attacked and they bite so fast, especially from the knees down.
@@randyhammond2885 I don't think I had much experience with black flies, thankfully, as my time back in the day was further south, the Holland area. But man oh man, those vicious dear flies....!! 🥺😫😫😫😫😫
Nice video . yooper all my life was born in marquette then we moved to houghton michigan and now in iron mountain michigan.. My great grandfather came from Finland and settled in Eben junction michigan our family property butts up to the Eben jct ice caves in fact years ago i had a uncle that owned that property so no one knew about the ice caves except for locals.
Great Video! I lived in Marquette for 4 years, 64/68 with Superior at our front door. Both my parents grew up in Marquette. There's a Pasty Kitchen in Los Alamitos, Calif. and "Pretty good, don't ya know, Yah". Your both delightful!
Your dad sounds like a great guy, having raised 5 daughters is nothing to sneeze at either, wow. I went to junior high and high school down state in Schoolcraft by Kalamazoo. Lots of family in Michigan.. i have a brother and sister in law that live in TC. I’ve been to the eastern side of the UP , Sault St Marie ànd Tahquamenon Falls. Copper Harbor is on my bucket list
A senator from the UP once introduced a bill in Congress to make the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a state and name it "the state of Superior" after Lake Superior, but the bill was defeated in Congress, and it didn't happen.
We live in lower Michigan now, but my dad is from Gladstone in the UP. We go up there twice a year to visit family, and in the summer my granny loads us up with enough homemade frozen pasties to last several months. If it weren’t for the lack of job opportunities, I’d move my family up there in a heartbeat. Great video.
We once had a snowball fight in my grandma's yard when we were there for her birthday. Which is July 4th. There was actually still snow piled up under the porch. That's unusual... but not too weird for the Keweenaw. My grandpa, my dad's dad, grew up in an all Finnish speaking household, and therefore my dad and three uncles did too, speaking English at school and Finnish at home. So when I was a kid, my dad, uncles and grandpa would speak English to us, but Finnish to each other when they didn't want us kids to know what they're talking about. I picked up a few raunchy Finnish swear words tho. hehe.
Yous exaggerate I grew up in upnortsconsin across da river from Iron mountain and Kingsford.(good pasties in Kingsford) But I have seen snOw flurries early in June❤🎉
@@gerryroush8391 With all due respect, Kingsford is NOT in the Keweenaw, so you don't get the same lake effect snow and weather that comes from Lake Superior being on both east and west sides of the peninsula. We have family photos of that July snowball fight, so I am definitely not exaggerating.
What a delightful man. It was such a treat to hear both your dad’s story and a bit of local U.P. history. As a Canadian the U.P. accent definitely sounds familiar as does the talk of long winters! Thank you for sharing.
I'm from Tamarack, I left to join the marine corps haven't been back sins. I do miss it but I don't think I can deal with cold weather anymore. One of these days I'll plan to make a trip and show my boys where dad came from. But I do miss the snowmobiling a lot.
I enjoyed this very much! Both you and your dad are very natural on camera. I'm originally from the lower peninsula and lived in the UP when I went to that university in Houghton.... quite a few years ago. I love it in the UP and try to get back as much as possible to visit, and photograph the nature and landscapes.
I have a theory about the Yooper "eh." It usually follows a statement, like "Cold out, eh?" It's common across many languages to follow a statement like that with a negative in search of agreement, like "isn't it?" or "n'est pas?" Well, "no" in Finnish is "ei," which is easily heard as "eh." So I think "eh" is Finnish in origin across the UP rather than a Canadian influence. For that matter, there are a lot of Finns in Canada too, eh?
Loved this video. I live in the Southern lower peninsula. I heard on another UP video that there were two seasons up in the U.P. Winter and Construction. You and your dad did a great job with this video.
In the 70's went to a church in Laurium with its service in Finnish, sang along as I recognized the hymns. Did have a nice meal with a family of a MTU prof.
Oh my goodness! Your dad is amazing! 😍 and the content of the video is really interesting, I love learning about different words and the difference between the states! Thank you so much Camille!
One more comment. I live one hour south of the Mackinaw bridge in the lower peninsula and get to enjoy the UP because I live so close to it. Even though I live in a beautiful place in the lower peninsula, there's just something about the UP that is very special. I remember back in the 1960s as a kid our family would take trips to the UP and we loved swimming in lake Superior. And the entire stretch of highway 2 coastal drive along lake Michigan is beautiful too.
Lived in the UP for years, Detour Village, Escanaba, Marquette, Calumet, Lake Linden, Houghton/Handcock, and then moved to western Montana, where on an occasion I was in Butte, Montana and happened upon a Pasty Shop in that town. Come to find oot, the people who owned the shop were descended from copper miners from the UP. When Marcus Daly was recruiting miners for his copper mine he brought several from the mines in the yoop. They brought the tradition of pasties with them. They were surprised to find I knew exactly what they were selling, having eaten many in my lifetime.
I've been looking for a good example of a yooper accent for such a long time, and this is the first one I've found! Finally I have a good example I can send my friends for how people sound where I grew up. :)
The UP is being logged off too fast. The trees don't grow fast enough for that. Otherwise, nice you could get a recording of your Dad's ideas of how to live there. No deer for me yet this year.
Dude, you should have still been able to get a deer. C'mon on now....little bit of slacking maybe? How much time did you put in? It's the freaking u.p!I got my doe the first day of bow season and my buck on nov 20th when I went out still hunting. I dont care where you're at in the u.p-- you should always be able to fill a tag if you put a little time into it. Christ sake, bait piles are legal over here. All you have to do is invite them over for dinner.
Thanks so much for watching this very special video with my DAD!! I loved filming for you guys and am sure you will laugh a lot!!
You guys seem so nice 😋

Hello from Downriver!
I love hearing this accent. You hear it mostly in the western part of the UP. my grandfather was born in Cornwall where the pasty comes from. My grandfather was a Suomi synod Lutheran pastor who went to Finlandia University (Suomi College). My dad’s first language was Finnish.
I loved hearing you speak to your dad! My parents were U.P. Finns and we spent summers in Calumet. So his accent gave me a lot of nostalgia.
Awww! I am so glad. So many memories for me too. This was such a special video for me!

I'm from Northern WI, and we speak exactly the same way, same culture...the UP and N WI is basically the same
Oh wow!! 🤗
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille I should say very similar lol
My dad and grandpa were both born in Iron River, MI. I think the northern WI/ UP accent are very 'Canadian' sounding and thats what I've heard from others when traveling out of state. We also say 'yous guys' and sprinkle 'hey' liberally in conversation
I am in Northern Michigan and love it ! I do love the Yooper accent . It is a beautiful part of the country and this was a lovely interview with your Father .
😍😍thank you!!!
I'm from southern Wisconsin and many of the people I worked with back in the 1970's ended many of their comments with the phrase "da-ya-hey". It's like adding a self affirmation to their comment. Then again I use the phrase "you betcha" in about every third sentence.
I grew up on K.I. Sawyer AFB, south of Marquette, in the ‘70s and early’’80s. We loved the winter as kids. I remember plenty of Finn’s. All our bus drivers wore those hats, and my gym teacher’s name was Mr Hanuskala.
Great video! Your dad is awesome. My favorite bit was learning about the history of the UP and the Finnish immigrants. So interesting!
It really is a unique set apart place that not everyone knows about! It was so special to interview my dad! Thanks for watching!!
Bless the U.P. Born in Marquette, raised in Bessemer, living in Scotland past 22 years. Miss the Yoop. Wholesome, lovely people. Mention of pasties made me hungry. 😂
Woww! I would love to visit Scotland ☺️☺️
Ya sure, hey buddy, yup, I am born and raised in da UP over Bessemer way. Grandfolks migrated from Finland and Sweden. Loved the interview and I agree with everything your Dad said. Taking the tractor out and making wood is about as good as life gets. Take Care!
Aww that’s awesome! I have a video where we made wood too!! You should check it out ☺️☺️
I don't know any Yoopers, I'm San Diego born and raised, I just used to listen that "Da Yoopers" band back when Dr Demento still played on the radio.
Ahaha nice! We loved our short trip to San Diego! Such a beautiful city😍
I just discovered your video, watched and immediately subscribed. Born, raised and still in Duluth,MN. Laughed at the “bag/tag/wag etc pronunciation! Visited Texas and the store cashier had no idea I was asking for a bag. Changed the word to “a sack” and got my bag. Also, when my child was very young, we couldn’t use “Reading with Phonics” I believe it was called. My daughter said to me, “mom what does wag mean? As in dog’s tail wagged. Well, out went that reading program! Thanks for an enjoyable video!
Aww that’s amazing!! 🥰thanks for sharing!
This was so cute as I'm watching this in Ann Arbor getting ready to move to Sault Ste Marie mi BBBBrrrrr.... I will love it
Aww that’s awesome!! Blessings!
My grandparents were first gen Finnish, their parents came from Finland. My grandmother's first language was Finnish. She eventually moved to the northern lower peninsula, where I grew up. Her accent slowly transitioned but she would still say a lot of the slang or stereotypical things.
That’s awesome!! 💯👏
My friend married a Finnish girl from the U.P. last nameTollefson. You remind me of her. Went to their wedding in Iron Mountain and had a great time. Enjoyed the video!
Oh that’s so fun 😍
This used to be my accent til I moved from Ironwood Michigan to Texas in my youth, and then we moved to Washington State and I've been here for decades now. My Yooper accent is mostly gone, though it may creep out now and again.
I was raised in Yooperland. Your dad sounds completely normal to me. 😄
😍😍😂that’s awesome!
'English with a touch of genius'....love it!
My dad is hilarious! 😂😂😂
I am originally from Michigan & it is an absolutely beautiful state! I go back & visit with my children every summer & they love it & they have the best time! I do not miss the Michigan winters though!! Haha! But the Upper Peninsula is truly a magical place & I tell everyone I meet that asks me where I am from that the UP is a MUST place to visit at least once in your lifetime! It is definitely worth the trip! ✌️💛
I lived on KI Sawyer from 78-81 and could not love this video more.
❤️❤️thank youuuu!
I’m originally from the UP. Spent the first 26 years of life in “God’s Country” and have missed it since the first day I left. Everything he states are facts. Every Yooper pretty much grew up this way. Say ya to da UP, eh!
Wow! Amazing!!
Yah. All youse guys down dere tinkin boot comin up? Yah hey.
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille Your dad is admirably resourceful! Seems like a very kind gentleman.
We've been up here for a few years. One of the most interesting pieces of information came from a lovely, 80 year old woman that lived here her whole life said pasties didn't really exist up here until the 60's and 70's. Which goes to show that you're never late for dinner if what you're bringing is absolutely delicious.
Thank you both. I am old enough to remember when a lot more of us sounded like this; I fear that the unique sound is decreasing as time runs and our accents all become homogenized. I haven't heard "put the sauna going" for some years. Love the Keweenaw....
❤️❤️❤️
You're right. The Upper Peninsula accent is disappearing.
Good video. 👍 I'm a Finnish Yooper as well and I wonder if we say hey so much because "hei" in finnish is a greeting, it's pronounced the same way. 🤔 Thanks for sharing. 🌟
Oh interesting!! It could be!! Thanks for watching ☺️
Thats true. Hei!
@@pekkakuosmanen65 Hei. 👋😏
I grew up on the St Lawrence river where it starts just east of Lake Ontario. My Father, Hans was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I had friends that after meeting Hans would ask me, “What language is he speaking?”. I never thought his accent was excessive???
I have lived in Charleston and now upstate South Carolina for 30 years. It’s an 18 hour drive to my hometown.
Nice Video!
Thank you!
Thank you ya betcha
😂😂❤️
I was searching for what the heck a "yooper" accent was and had to click on this because it's not often I see another Camille! Lovely video!
Hahaha that’s amazing! Thanks for watching. Where are you from?
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille I'm originally from New Zealand but have lived in Washington state for the last decade, so I have a hybrid accent!
Oh so cool! I actually interviewed a guy from New Zealand 2 weeks ago for my channel. Then we did a short guess the New Zealand slang for my Instagram which I already posted. Sooo hard! Haha 🙈🙈🙈
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille oh that's so awesome! I just subscribed and I'll go check it out and follow you! 😊
Ohhh so cool!! Thank you ☺️ I hope you enjoy my videos! ☺️
My father is from Iron Mountain. I spent some of the best time of my life in the UP
Awesome 👏
I’m 21 and living in the upper peninsula my whole life. I’m right next to Lake superior. It’s so cool how you showed your dad‘s input on everything in this video!
Tiara!! I know you!! ☺️☺️
I’m Heathers 1st cousin and best friend! ☺️
I am from Detroit & Muskegon and I live in North Carolina. I lived there for 30 years and I have been here for about 11 years. I love hearing it. In muskegon we said Fer Shure a lot....fer shure.
Fer shure! Yes 😂 so good!
My grandpa grew up in Stephenson, Menominee Co
😍😍
Just happened to stumble upon this, my family is from Iron County and my time spent up there has dwindled since moving away. Your dads accent transported me back to my family reunions and time spent visiting my grandparents. The U.P is such an amazing place and I certainly have started to appreciate it more since growing up.
Awww so special! 😍😍
The Pasty is Cornish but there’s also a large Cornish population in the UP.
A lot like Sault Saint Marie. Old Finn's and sauna with heikki lunta!
😍😍
Love this! I live in downstate Michigan near Kalamazoo and travel up through the UP a couple times a year for work. I know several people that sound just like your Dad especially those up near Houghton and Hancock. Listening to this while driving home from my latest trip up there. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve lived in the U.P. Since 1977 . I don’t want to live any where else. It’s a labor of love . It’s a beautiful place rich in tradition. I love it here! Oh ya you betcha der now eh!
💜💜💜
Camille & her father were so enjoyable to watch. So interesting, the cultural differences in our great state. Thank you for this wonderful interview, so delightful!
7:12 I have laughed it. Your father is a good guy to talk all the afternoon On Sundays.
Hahaha 🤣 yeahhh, he can be pretty entertaining!
6 months of snow and 6 months of bad sledding.
I lived in Ontonagon for 6 years in the 1980’s and, although I would never be mistaken for a native, I liked to think of myself as kind of an honorary Yooper. Having this video show up in my feed was a real treat and brought back many memories of our time there. Everything your Dad describes is exactly how I remember it, and the people were nearly all just as pleasant as your Dad seems to be.
nice episode, i live in sweden and have watched some video about Upper penesuela, because my aunty, uncle and cousins live in Mass c and it is nice to learn more about the area. It's been 47 years since i was there.
Oh wow! That’s super cool! I have also spent some time in Swedish, it’s an amazing country!
Its a great place to live..safe
True!!! ☺️☺️
Your father is such a Blessing. I see you value him. I am so happy you included him. He is so special. Finnish is a hard language. He makes me want to put this area on my must do list. Yes. UP is special.
So true! I hope you can visit!! 💜
Pasty the original fast food. You can eat one in the bag while driving. We say EH! Like a question or exclamation. Remember Karal Pellenpa used to have that Sunday morning show on TV 6 Finland calling, ( Suomi Kutzoo ) for 40 yrs. They would speak in Finn, the Karal would translate. He'd take a bunch to Finland once a year to visit the old country. Sadly all the first generation have past on, & the second generation was discouraged from speaking Finn in school so the language has been lost. I heard a couple of guys speaking it in the iron mine, years ago. I asked my partner later if he & Bruce were really speaking Finn? He said they were. I asked if it was true Finn? He said no, it's more like Finglish. My wife & I ,along with our 2 kids, were traveling by means of 2 motorcycles,through Quebec Provence when we stopped at a point of interest, Grand Falls Grand Slough. I asked the young gal at the information desk if they were really speaking true French? She said no, more like Frenchglish. She said a French tour boat came to town once, late 1980's & the local couldn't speak with the French people. I was raised on the eastern end of the U.P. & a family friend got cancer, about 1971, he was of Finish decent, & he went back to the old country to see realtives for the last time. Upon his return he stopped in one night to visit with my dad. My dad asked him if he could communicate with his relatives? He said he could. His folks came from northern Finland & he learned that dialect growing up before elementary school. But while there his relatives took him to see other relatives in southern Finland & he couldn't understand their version of Finn, so his northern relatives had to translate for him. When I moved to Marquette county in 1974 I noticed that the Finn's there put the accent on the first syllable,where the Chippewa county Finn's put it on the second syllable. Example, Chippewa county Finn family name Pe- so( long O) la Marquette county Fin, Pes- ola Another one was Har- varn- en, in the east but Harv-arnen in the west. What to do in the winter, before snowmobiles? I asked a coworker once about 42 yrs ago. He said every kid he knew had a pair of jumping skis. This was in Ishpeming. He said right after school, they'd all walk over to the ski jump & jump untill the guy would turn the lights off & make them go home.
It was fun to read all your reflections ♥️
I grew up in South Range. JHS graduate 💚 It's always fun to hear the Yooper accent and the regional dialect.
I'm from Houghton, you are right in my backyard!
@@purplerose2826 Lol I grew up there, but currently I'm living near Toledo, OH. I miss being up there so much.
@@SilentEcho9194 I have been transplanted in Arizona, I hate it! I long for the UP & pasties. People say there is beauty in the desert but I have yet to find it. They don't know true beauty.
@@purplerose2826 I understand that. Before moving here, I lived in southwest Michigan for 20+years. It was the most plain, unremarkable part of Michigan. Landlocked and boring. My daughter and I talked about making pasties just last night 🙂❤
Wow!! I’ve been to south range a ton-I grew up in Chassell ☺️
I remember the autumn at UP something like Taiga at Siberia and Very Yellow Endless Maples on the way to the Pictured Rocks. Most beautiful place ever I visited.
The U.P. is incredibly beautiful in the fall!!
Growing up I had a friend whose grandparents and uncle lived in Bergland on the West side. They all had a very strong "Finnish" accent. I work with a guy from the Soo that has a very similar accent but really gruff and not friendly like the accent on the west side. I think it was just him though, his parents speak like city people. We live in Alpena, front line trolls, we go up a couple/few times a year, only about 1.5 hours to the bridge. We have a small RV and we love to backwoods camp, chase brookies and take in nature.
That’s wonderful!! It is beautiful and great for camping!!
Great video. My Great Grandfather immigrated from Norway in the early 1900s to Green Bay Wisconsin area. It’s nice to hear and learn where people came from eh.
Oh that’s great!! Also great to know our roots!!
Greenville South Carolina born and raised. Now In Manistique Michigan. So far only 1 winter. It was a doozy. Had 4ft of snow in my yard for almost 6 months. Lol.
Wow! I live in Greer!!! 😍
Yeah the snow gets old 😂😂
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille wow. Small world. I agree the snow can be a little much. I grew tired of people after 20yrs on a ambulance there and the lack of support by employers and elected officials for first responders. So we sold it all and left. It’s cold In the winter. Warm in the summer. Turned the AC on last week lol, for the first time this year. Closest stop light is 30-40 mins away. Walmart is over a hour away. We love it. Good luck down there in Greer.
Kiitos hauskasta videosta.
❤️❤️
I love discovering these little fragments of culture. My last boss was from Michigan and she always joked about the accents. I'd love to visit this area sometime--it all seems very welcoming and comfortable. Also, I love the cold!
Super cute video, we should all interview our parents/grandparents etc! You and your Dad seem like great people.
It is a special memory for sure. I also have a video with my grandma on my channel 😍
I spent my first 36 years in Norway in the UP… now I spent the last 30 here in Florida and I think my accent is just about gone lol
Beautiful up there My Dad was born in Shingleton. My Grandparents came from Yugoslavia they came thru Ellis Island and settled up in shingleton. love the accent. I am from southern Michigan. People always a ask me where I am from because of my accent
Pasties...yum, manna from heaven!!! 😋😊
So good!
I moved to the UP from Southern California and freaking love it
My grandma was from Austria and my grandpa was a German from Russia. They moved to USA and lived in Chicago, Illinois suburbs. One of their daughters, my aunt, used to say "yous guys". Don't know where she got that from because none of the other kids said that.
Lots of people in WI and IL say "youse guys." It's an Upper Midwest thing, not just the UP. Another thing they do a lot (but not as often and really mostly the older generations (40+)) is replace the /th/ sound with a /d/ sound. Like, "dis da one yer talkin about?"
I'm a new subber Camille and was fortunate enough to attend Northern Michigan University. Loved the U.P. summers they're Magical heh!
Oh that’s great!! They have beautiful summers!! 😍
I spent the first 18 years of my life in lovely Michigan ... and it can't be overstated as to just how bad the biting bugs are there. Those mean deer flies are just awful and the mosquitoes aren't far behind.🥺
Unfortunately yes 🙈
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille and I won't even mention the horrible brier patches and the sand burs and pricker plants that are all over the place and suffocating summer humidity and biting sand flies on the lake shores.😪🤷
@@michaelmelling9333 yes the biting black flies are terrible around the water. We were planning on walking the beach on Lake Superior but, we were attacked and they bite so fast, especially from the knees down.
@@randyhammond2885 I don't think I had much experience with black flies, thankfully, as my time back in the day was further south, the Holland area.
But man oh man, those vicious dear flies....!! 🥺😫😫😫😫😫
RE:Micheal Melling. Yeah, that's the part that sounds like the devil's country.
Nice video . yooper all my life was born in marquette then we moved to houghton michigan and now in iron mountain michigan.. My great grandfather came from Finland and settled in Eben junction michigan our family property butts up to the Eben jct ice caves in fact years ago i had a uncle that owned that property so no one knew about the ice caves except for locals.
Great Video! I lived in Marquette for 4 years, 64/68 with Superior at our front door. Both my parents grew up in Marquette. There's a Pasty Kitchen in Los Alamitos, Calif. and "Pretty good, don't ya know, Yah". Your both delightful!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
So glad to see this. My family has been in the Midwest for over a hundred years and always enjoy hearing about the u.p.
That’s amazing! Thanks for watching!! ❤️
Your dad sounds like a great guy, having raised 5 daughters is nothing to sneeze at either, wow.
I went to junior high and high school down state in Schoolcraft by Kalamazoo. Lots of family in Michigan.. i have a brother and sister in law that live in TC. I’ve been to the eastern side of the UP , Sault St Marie ànd Tahquamenon Falls. Copper Harbor is on my bucket list
Aww yeah he’s pretty amazing!! 💜💜
Wow!! Your dad is awesome!!!
Amazing video! 😊
Grazie Camille!
hahaha Thanks so much Sara! He is pretty hilarious!!
I was born in Bessemer Michigan. What a wonderful place to grow up. I am a genuine Yooper.
A senator from the UP once introduced a bill in Congress to make the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a state and name it "the state of Superior" after Lake Superior, but the bill was defeated in Congress, and it didn't happen.
Wow! Very interesting!!! It could be it’s own state 😅
I remember that, I was a kid at the time.
i was raised in Champion of Finn heritage, now i live in Anderson SC-i miss the Yoop from time to time
Wowww! We live in Greer now!! 😍
We live in lower Michigan now, but my dad is from Gladstone in the UP. We go up there twice a year to visit family, and in the summer my granny loads us up with enough homemade frozen pasties to last several months. If it weren’t for the lack of job opportunities, I’d move my family up there in a heartbeat. Great video.
Thanks it is a beautiful part of the world!
I graduated from NMU, and worked at White Pine Mine in the mid 70's, lived in Iron Mountain, I miss da Yup, fer sure!
♥️♥️♥️it’s always a great place to go back to and visit!!
I went to iron mountain high school for two years!
We once had a snowball fight in my grandma's yard when we were there for her birthday. Which is July 4th. There was actually still snow piled up under the porch. That's unusual... but not too weird for the Keweenaw.
My grandpa, my dad's dad, grew up in an all Finnish speaking household, and therefore my dad and three uncles did too, speaking English at school and Finnish at home. So when I was a kid, my dad, uncles and grandpa would speak English to us, but Finnish to each other when they didn't want us kids to know what they're talking about. I picked up a few raunchy Finnish swear words tho. hehe.
Yous exaggerate
I grew up in upnortsconsin across da river from Iron mountain and Kingsford.(good pasties in Kingsford)
But I have seen snOw flurries early in June❤🎉
@@gerryroush8391 With all due respect, Kingsford is NOT in the Keweenaw, so you don't get the same lake effect snow and weather that comes from Lake Superior being on both east and west sides of the peninsula. We have family photos of that July snowball fight, so I am definitely not exaggerating.
What a delightful man. It was such a treat to hear both your dad’s story and a bit of local U.P. history.
As a Canadian the U.P. accent definitely sounds familiar as does the talk of long winters!
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it😍😍😍
I'm from Tamarack, I left to join the marine corps haven't been back sins. I do miss it but I don't think I can deal with cold weather anymore. One of these days I'll plan to make a trip and show my boys where dad came from. But I do miss the snowmobiling a lot.
You’re right it is cold! But showing your boys where you’re from would be special 😍😍
I enjoyed this very much! Both you and your dad are very natural on camera. I'm originally from the lower peninsula and lived in the UP when I went to that university in Houghton.... quite a few years ago. I love it in the UP and try to get back as much as possible to visit, and photograph the nature and landscapes.
It is an amazing place!!! Thanks for your comment! ☺️
I grew up near Iron Mountain. Miss it often. My brother is going back and buying our house we grew up in.
I love the no wimps thing. That’s pretty much been my motto for uh… kind of ever!
😂😂😂
I have a theory about the Yooper "eh." It usually follows a statement, like "Cold out, eh?" It's common across many languages to follow a statement like that with a negative in search of agreement, like "isn't it?" or "n'est pas?" Well, "no" in Finnish is "ei," which is easily heard as "eh." So I think "eh" is Finnish in origin across the UP rather than a Canadian influence. For that matter, there are a lot of Finns in Canada too, eh?
Interesting theory. It could be👏
Loved this video. I live in the Southern lower peninsula. I heard on another UP video that there were two seasons up in the U.P. Winter and Construction. You and your dad did a great job with this video.
Aww! I will tell him you said so. I’m trying to get him film another video with me 😊
Thanks for this great interview. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks a lot once again!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
In the 70's went to a church in Laurium with its service in Finnish, sang along as I recognized the hymns. Did have a nice meal with a family of a MTU prof.
Aww 😍😍
Oh my goodness! Your dad is amazing! 😍 and the content of the video is really interesting, I love learning about different words and the difference between the states! Thank you so much Camille!
hahaha thanks so much!!! it is always fascinating to learn about different parts of the USA. Maybe now you understand me a little better! 😂
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille of course I do!!
Really fun and special interview, I loved learning more about Michigan and hearing your dad's thoughts on living there!
Thank you! This was special for me too!!
One more comment. I live one hour south of the Mackinaw bridge in the lower peninsula and get to enjoy the UP because I live so close to it. Even though I live in a beautiful place in the lower peninsula, there's just something about the UP that is very special. I remember back in the 1960s as a kid our family would take trips to the UP and we loved swimming in lake Superior. And the entire stretch of highway 2 coastal drive along lake Michigan is beautiful too.
Ohh nice! I see now where you’re from 😍
Lived in the UP for years, Detour Village, Escanaba, Marquette, Calumet, Lake Linden, Houghton/Handcock, and then moved to western Montana, where on an occasion I was in Butte, Montana and happened upon a Pasty Shop in that town.
Come to find oot, the people who owned the shop were descended from copper miners from the UP. When Marcus Daly was recruiting miners for his copper mine he brought several from the mines in the yoop.
They brought the tradition of pasties with them. They were surprised to find I knew exactly what they were selling, having eaten many in my lifetime.
What a cool coincidence!! I would love to visit Montana. Heard it’s beautiful ☺️
@@LearnEnglishwithCamille Montana is beautiful, but it's not more beautiful than the Yoop, it's just different beautiful.
I've been looking for a good example of a yooper accent for such a long time, and this is the first one I've found! Finally I have a good example I can send my friends for how people sound where I grew up. :)
Aww I’m so glad ♥️♥️
Wow, he looks like he could be related! Huge Finnish family. Lots born in da Yoop!
The UP is being logged off too fast. The trees don't grow fast enough for that. Otherwise, nice you could get a recording of your Dad's ideas of how to live there. No deer for me yet this year.
Good luck on the deer! It was so special to do this interview with him. Thanks for watching!!
Dude, you should have still been able to get a deer. C'mon on now....little bit of slacking maybe? How much time did you put in? It's the freaking u.p!I got my doe the first day of bow season and my buck on nov 20th when I went out still hunting. I dont care where you're at in the u.p-- you should always be able to fill a tag if you put a little time into it. Christ sake, bait piles are legal over here. All you have to do is invite them over for dinner.
@@aprox23 I passed a lot of deer waiting for a nice buck, then all of a sudden I was ice fishing.
Very cute video, congratulations.. You have the same smile with your dad...
Awww, thanks so much!!!
